Public Statements. r
TO THE READERS OF THE NORTHWEST.
In common with many publishers
and editors, we have been accustomed
to look upon certain statements which
we have seen In our columns as merely
adrOit advertising.
Consequently we feel justified in taxi
ing the liberty of printing few points
from private letter recently received
from one Of our largest patrons as Il
sort Of confession of faith to our readers.
We quote:
awe have convinced ourselves that
by telling what we know to be true, we
have produced at last permanent con-
viction in the public mind. Seven
years ago we stated what the national
disease of this country was, and that it
was rapidly increasing. Three years
ago we stated that marked check had
been given it.
"The statistics of one of the largest
life insurance companies of this coun-
try shows that in 1883 and 1884, the
mortality from kidney disorders did
not increase over the previous years;
other companies stated the same thing
1t is not presumptuous for us to claim
credit for checking these ravages.
''Seven years ago we stated that the
condition of the kidneys was the key to
the condition of health; within the past
five years all careful life insurance COM
panies have conceded the truth of this
statement, for, whereas, ten years ago,
chemical analysis to determine the con-
dition of the kidneys was not required,
to-day millions of dollars in risks are
refused, because chemical examination
discovers unsuspected diseases of the
kidneys.
''Seven years ago we stated that the
ravages of Bright's Disease were insig-
nifcant compared with other unsus-
pected disorders of the kidneys of many
misleading names; that ninety-three
per cent. of human ailments are at
tributable to deranged kidneys, which
fills the blood with uric acid, or kidney
poison, which causes these many fatal
diseases.
"The uric acid, or kidney poison, is
the real cause of the majority of cases of
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, con-
vulsions, pneumonia, consumption, and
tuSdultgi oNel llHii tlio NlceiInS VI COu-
sumption are first the victims of dis
eased kidneys.
"When the recent death of an hon.
ored ex-official of the United States
was announced, his physician said that
although he was suffering from Bright's
Disease, that was not the cause of
death. He was not frank enough to
admit that the apoplexy which overlook
him in his bed, was the fatal effect of the
kidney poison in the blood, which had
eaten away the substance of the arteries
and brain; nor was Logan's physician
honest enough to state that his fatal
rheumatism was caused by kidney acid
in the blood. II
eff the doctors would state in official
reports the original cause of death, the
people of this country would be alarm
ed, yea, NEARLY panic stricken, ,at the fear
full mortality from kidney disorders"
The writers of the above letter give
these facts to the public simply to JUS
tify the claims that they have made,
that "if the kidneys and liver are kept
in q healthy condition by the use of
Warmers safe cure, which hundreds of
thousands have proved to be specific,
when all other remedies failed, and that
has received the endorsement of the
highest medical talent in Europe, Aus
tralasia and America, many life would
be prolonged and the happiness of the
people preserved. 1t is succussful with
so many different diseases because
it and it alone, can remove the uric
acid from the blood through the kid
neys."
Our readers are familiar with the
preparation named. ,r
Commendation thereof has often ap-
peared in our columns. ''.'. \.
We believe it to be one of the best, if
not the best ever manufactured. We
know the proprietors are men of char
acter and influence.
We are certain they have awakened
a widespread interest in the public
mind concerning the Importance of
the kidneys. We believe with them
that thev are the key to health, and
that for their restoration from disease
and maintenance in health, there is
nothing equal to this great remedy.
The proprietors say they "do not
glory in this universal prevalence of
disease, but having started out with the
purpose of spreading the merits of War
ner's safe cure before the world, because
it cured our senior proprietor, who was
given up by doctors as incurable, we
feel it our duty to state the facts and
leave the public to its own differences.
We point to our claims, and to their
public and universal verification with
pride, and if the public does not be-
1ieve what we say, we tell them to ask
their friends and neighbors what they
think about our preparations"
As stated above, we most cordially
commend the perusal of this cores
pondence by our readers, believing that
in so doing, we are fulfilling q simple
public obligation.
Another Republican steal is being un-
earthed at Columbus in the depart

Works. 1t is charged that $500 clerks
are carried on the pay roll as assistant
engineers aud draw 81 600 per year for
